How to Make Chocolate and Cheese Grilled Sandwich

1. Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. While the skillet warms, butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread, ensuring the butter is evenly spread.
3. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet.
4. Layer the cheddar cheese slices on top of the bread in the skillet, followed by the chopped dark chocolate.
5. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
6. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom slice is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt.
7. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and the cheese and chocolate are fully melted.
8. Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing in half.
9. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for an added flavor dimension.
